(What book is this?)
Political Unconscious, although for the most part I'm getting the bits relevant to my life in something approaching layman's terms from Ian Buchanan's Frederic Jameson: Live Theory. Let me tell you, that's been a godsend. (I, uh, didn't cotton on to the fact that Jameson was even associated with Marxist criticism until I read the guidebook. *facepalm*)
